Health Insurance for International Students in the US?

Question

Hi,

I'm hoping to go to Connecticut to study for a couple of years in January 09. I'm trying to work out what my outgoings will be and am wondering if anyone knows how much health insurance will be likely to cost me as an international student? Does anyone know if students can get cheaper insurance due to lack of income and also I wondered if anyone could recommend an insurer who has a good reputation but not too expensive?

Many thanks Alison

Answer 2

Many times students can find a very cheap health insurance plan . However, sometimes it can be difficult if one has health problems.

If you are perfectly healthy then it is pretty easy to find a good student health insurance plan for under $100/month.

Be sure and choose a highly rated company like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, Aetna, or United Healthcare.

Make sure that you choose a plan that has comprehensive major medical coverage to protect you in the case of a large medical bill.
